If you like tall, slim women - check their adam's apples!!!

Cirque du soleil is always worth going to, though expensive!

Treasure Island has a good and cheap buffet.

Avoid Celine Dionne!

Freemont is OK.

I forget the hotel on the Strip, but they have dollar Heiniken! It's near Circus
Circus!

Don't stay at Circus Circus - its filthy!

Mandalay Bay rocks! Aladdin and Paris are OK. Bellagio's is great. Monte Carlo is good. MGM Grand is OK.

I've been to lots of conventions there!

Oh - and rent a Caddy, or a Hummer, or motorbike and go for a drive up to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon!

They have a micro brewery which is quite good and the extra cut prime rib, with a pint of one of their own brewed beers is a real bargain at $8.95. Not the most opulent joint in town but great value.

I booked something for each day to get the lads out of their pits or away from the tables so that they did not do their lot.

We are all Forces or Ex Forces and the craic was amazing.

A list of things we did.

Las Vegas Speedway for a driving experience - amazing day in little single seaters doing 160 mph + round the bowl

Gun Range - The looks on the instructors faces when we all had groups that embarassed most of them...lol

Amazing meal at TAO restaurant think it was in the Venitian? can't remember i was blind drunk...lol

Parachute jump

Spring break pool party at the MGM - I felt like an old perv....lol

Helicopter trip to the grand canyon and hoover dam.

And of course the jack the rippers were amazing! - TJ's was probably the best of the ones we visited - think thats what it was called?

A litle bit of advice!

You may struggle to get into night clubs as a group of guys, best way round this is to book a table with a bottle, you can then skip the horendous queue's and guarantee entry. Just google one of the VIP companies like A List Vegas and they will sort you with a guide - VERY expensive but worth it for the night life!

There is also a tattoo parlour.

For weddings I prefer the Little White Wedding Chapel. I've tried a couple of places but this has the right feel. They do have the drive-through option should you have a car. Queues for the wedding licence get quite long at city hall, but they are open 24/7 on weekends. Even so I have queued at midnight or after.
